As well as releasing their new album in 2006, Pet Shop Boys are intending to undertake an extensive tour probably beginning in the early autumn.

A major redesign of this website is also planned to coincide with the release of the new album. In the meantime, we wish all Petheads and visitors to this site a very happy New Year.

We are sad to hear that the distinguished British photographer Martin Parr, famous for his wryly distinctive images of everyday life, has died. In 2002 we asked him to direct the video for our song “London” and he made a short film which, in its combination of urban pathos and quirky London street life, was instantly recognisable as his work. We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Neil and Chris xx
